Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Arrested, Police Search Home on Birthday

by

Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been arrested in the UK following ongoing scrutiny of his connections to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

On February 19th, on his 66th birthday, police announced they were investigating Andrew for misconduct while holding public office.

Police announced today they’ve arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk as part of an investigation into potential misconduct while he was in public office. Officers are currently searching properties in both Norfolk and Berkshire. The man is still being held by police.

Thames Valley Police stated they are withholding the suspect’s name, following standard practice. They also reminded the public that this is an ongoing investigation and cautioned against publishing anything that could interfere with the legal process.

Oh my gosh, you won’t BELIEVE this! I’ve been glued to the BBC’s website, and they just posted photos… police are actually at Sandringham, where Prince Andrew’s been staying! Sandringham, you guys! King Charles’ estate! It’s all happening right now, and I’m losing it!

After carefully reviewing the situation, we’ve launched an investigation into the claims of misconduct, stated Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the investigation’s fairness and independence as we work with others to look into this alleged crime.

We know many people are following this case closely, and we’ll share more information when we can.

In recent weeks, Andrew has faced increased attention after documents related to Epstein’s abuse came to light. (Andrew, who recently lost his royal titles, had previously stated he did nothing wrong.)

Okay, so I was totally glued to the news today, and Buckingham Palace finally said something about what’s happening with Prince Andrew! It sounds like they’re acknowledging there might be some kind of investigation into him, which, honestly, I’ve been expecting for ages. It’s just… a lot. I’m so invested in the Royal Family, and this whole situation is just really stressful to follow, but I need to know everything!

As a lifestyle expert, I’m following this situation closely, and the Palace has made it very clear that the King is deeply concerned about the recent allegations surrounding Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor. While he needs to address these claims directly, the Palace has assured everyone they’ll fully cooperate with the police if asked. They’re prepared to help in any way they can with the ongoing investigation, as you’d naturally expect.

Okay, so the official word is, and it totally breaks my heart to share, that Their Majesties are, and always will be, thinking of and feeling for anyone who’s ever suffered any kind of abuse. It just shows what incredible people they are, honestly. They truly care, and I’m just so moved by it.

I’ve been following this case closely, and it’s really concerning. This man, just 29 years old and without any royal connections or official role, is being held for up to a month because authorities fear he might offend again. The court in Oslo approved keeping him detained, and his lawyer, Petar Sekulic, has said they’re thinking about appealing this decision. It’s a tough situation, and I hope they consider all the facts.

Høiby will appear in court on February 3rd to face charges related to four alleged rapes that occurred between 2018 and 2024, along with accusations of domestic violence and violating a restraining order.

In a statement to the Associated Press, his lawyers said Høiby denies all accusations of sexual abuse and most of the claims involving violence.

I’ve been thinking about how thankful I am. It’s like a release – letting go of fears, finding peace with sadness, and truly understanding what it means to live and connect with the natural world. Nature is a gentle guide, helping us remember and heal.
